plan ahead

Dear basketball fan,
When I turn around and joke with you about how shocked I am that people don't play basketball on their butts it's not because I actually think that people play basketball on their butts. And it's not because I want to joke around with you. It's also not because I enjoy the obnoxious things you yell at the referees. It's because I want you to stop letting words come out of your mouth. All words.

And yes, I will hold this sign up in front of your face,
Amanda


Dear fellow runner,
If you're going run on your bare feet on a public track, make sure you actually know how. None of this slamming on your heels nonsense, k?

Dear new year's resolutions,
Maybe one of my resolutions should be to make my resolutions before February. I don't think it counts if I have "resolutions" on my checklist since January 1.

Hoping for some partial credit,
Amanda


Dear 24-year-old self,
When every advisor and website tells you to plan ahead for grad school applications, listen to them.
